objective of the activity:
Participate in Christmas preparations.
Working method/Activity
In this activity, the child will participate in Christmas preparations by rolling out, shaping, and baking gingerbread cookies. This is a longstanding tradition at the school.
To prepare the child for what's to come, we begin the day with a morning gathering where the child can talk about the day and get to feel/smell a gingerbread cookie. Tactile signs such as Christmas, advent, cake, decorate, bake gingerbread cookies, and eat gingerbread cookies will be natural signs to use in this activity.
Let the child join in your movements as you start by getting the gingerbread dough and rolling it out. Press out the gingerbread cookies and place them on the baking tray. Remember to demonstrate through your hands and tactile signs what is going to happen.
Repeat the tactile signs throughout the process. When it's time to bake the gingerbread cookies, go over to the warm oven and put the baking tray in together. Set the timer together and discuss that when it rings, the gingerbread cookies are ready.
